Originality dispute[edit]

In August 2010, Norwich-based writer and artist John Savage issued a High Courtwrit, claiming that the original book is based on his own work, Captain Pottie's Wildlife Encyclopedia. The writ claims Savage's artistic and literary copyright has been infringed by Gervais. A spokeswoman for Gervais said the concept and illustrations existed before Savage's work.[1]

Adaptations[edit]

Originally ITV had commissioned a television series based on the books, which had a predicted air date of 2009, but it was later scrapped.[2]
